Wendy the Good Little Witch is a fictional comic book character from Harvey Comics. Like Casper the Friendly Ghost and Hot Stuff the Little Devil, Wendy is an opposite-type character, a girl witch who does good deeds. Contents. Publication history In other media List of comic series Further reading References External links. Publication history. Wendy was introduced as a back-up feature as well as a companion for Casper in Casper the Friendly Ghost #20, May 1954. Casper met and befriended her after stopping a major battle between the witches and ghosts. Soon, she was trialed in Harvey Hits , starting with #7. After a total of six appearances, she received her own title, Wendy the Good Little Witch , in August 1960. [1] Other ancillary titles featuring the pleasant young witch include Wendy Witch World (October 1961 to September 1974), and Casper and Wendy (September 1972 to November 1973). Another Wendy the Good Little Witch comic ran from April 1991 to August 1994, and a three-issue Wendy the Good Little Witch and New Kids on the Block saw print in 1991. In addition to Casper, the Wendy comics frequently feature Wendy's "aunties", Thelma, Velma and Zelma, with whom she shares a cottage in a haunted forest. The story "Remember When" [2] recounts how Wendy was abandoned as a baby on their doorstep. The sisters tried to raise her to practice black magic, but Wendy consistently called on good spirits for white magic, frustrating her aunties. Unlike Wendy, her aunts have green wartish skin of the type associated with Halloween witches. One story states that the reason for this is because witches don't get enough sleep. [3] Like many of Harvey's stable, Wendy is a design variation on the prototype of Casper. So are Richie Rich, Gloria Glad, Little Dot and others. She has appeared in various other media including television and film. In other media. Wendy made her first screen appearance in the theatrical Paramount Casper cartoon short, Which is Witch (1958), where she was voiced by Mae Questel. In 1963, she became a frequent supporting character in the animated TV series, The New Casper Cartoon Show , and was voiced by Norma MacMillan (who also voiced Casper). Christina Ricci's character of Kat in Universal's Casper movie was originally named Wendy in the script, but to avoid having to purchase the rights to the Wendy character, the name was changed at the last minute. The film does, however, show several hints that the character was originally Wendy, such as the red hoodie Kat wears in the film during one scene that resembles Wendy's robe from the comics. She serves as a co-protagonist in the 1998 direct-to-video prequel movie Casper Meets Wendy . In this movie, she was portrayed by a young Hilary Duff. TDK published a video game Wendy: Every Witch Way for the Game Boy Color in 2001. Wendy also appears in the video games Casper: Spirit Dimensions , released in 2001 for PlayStation 2 and the following year for Nintendo Gamecube, and Casper and the Ghostly Trio , released for PS2 in 2007. In the finale of "Harvey Girls Forever," she is mentioned by Richie Rich as a potential new resident to Harvey Street. List of comic series.

Casper Meets Wendy is a 1998 direct-to-video fantasy family comedy film based on the Harvey Comics cartoon characters Casper the Friendly Ghost and Wendy the Good Little Witch. The film is a sequel to Casper: A Spirited Beginning while it being the second prequel/spin-offs to the 1995 film Casper . Haim Saban, best known for creating the Power Rangers , serves as an executive producer for this movie, and his production company, Saban Entertainment, was also involved. This was the first major film for Hilary Duff, who was 10 years old when the film was released on September 22, 1998. It then aired on October 27, 1998, four days before Halloween, on Fox Family. Harvey Comics was an American comic book publisher, founded in New York City by Alfred Harvey in 1941, after buying out the small publisher Brookwood Publications. His brothers, Robert B. and Leon Harvey, joined shortly after. The company soon got into licensed characters, which by the 1950s, became the bulk of their output. The artist Warren Kremer is closely associated with the publisher. Little Audrey is a fictional character, appearing in early 20th century folklore prior to starring in a series of Paramount Pictures' Famous Studios cartoons from 1947 to 1958. She is considered a variation of the better-known Little Lulu , devised after Paramount decided not to renew the license on the comic strip character created by Marjorie Henderson Buell. Despite some superficial similarities between the two characters, the Famous animators were at pains to design Audrey in contrast to Lulu, adopting an entirely different color scheme and employing the stylistic conventions common to Famous Studios' later 1940s repertoire, as opposed to Buell's individualistic rendering of Little Lulu. Veteran animator Bill Tytla was the designer of Little Audrey, reportedly inspired by his daughter Tammy. The original voice of Little Lulu was performed by actress Cecil Roy. Little Audrey was, instead, voiced by Mae Questel, who also voiced most of Paramount's other major female cartoon characters, including Betty Boop and Olive Oyl. Spooky the Tuff Little Ghost is a fictional character that appeared in titles published by Harvey Comics. Spooky first appeared in Casper the Friendly Ghost #10. He is Casper's cousin, although their exact relation is never specified. He generally resembles Casper except he has freckles, a derby hat, and a large, black nose. Hot Stuff the Little Devil is a comic book character created by Warren Kremer who first appeared in Hot Stuff #1, published by Harvey Comics. Imbued with a mischievous personality and able to produce fire, Hot Stuff appears as a red child devil who wears a diaper and carries a magical sentient pitchfork, which is a character in its own right. Much to the consternation of his demonic brethren, Hot Stuff sometimes performs good deeds to irritate them. The Ghostly Trio are fictional characters appearing in Harvey Comics. They are well known for being the uncles of Casper the Friendly Ghost. Their first animated appearance was in The Friendly Ghost , a cartoon of Paramount Pictures' Famous Studios theatrical series from the 1940s. When Casper was translated to Harvey Comics, the characters were redesigned to make them more mischievous than terror-inspiring. The characters made numerous Harvey Comics appearances and were featured in the title Casper and the Ghostly Trio . Versions of the Ghostly Trio remained prominent in subsequent adaptations/spin-offs. Alfred Harvey , was the founder of comic book publisher Harvey Comics and the creator of the comic book characters Little Dot, Richie Rich, and Adam Awards. He was born to Russian Jewish immigrants in Brooklyn, New York.Alfred Harvey's company, Harvey World Famous Comics, produced comic books and cartoons featuring Wendy the Good Little Witch, Spooky the Tuff Little Ghost, Casper the Friendly Ghost, Baby Huey, Little Audrey, and Little Dot. It also published Sad Sack , the military comic strip, which was created by George Baker. Ernesto Colón Sierra was a stateside Puerto Rican comics artist, known for his wide-ranging career illustrating children's, superhero, and horror comics, as well as mainstream nonfiction. Harvey Films is an animation production arm of comic book publisher Harvey Comics. It was a family business formed in the 1940s and was founded in 1957. The Spooktacular New Adventures of Casper is a 1996–1998 animated television spin-off of the feature film Casper , which, in turn, was based on the Harvey Comics cartoon character of Casper the Friendly Ghost.

  • The Jewish Comic Book Guys
    The Jewish Comic Book Guys Presented at the JCC of Ann Arbor February 25th, 2016 The American comic book industry was, from its inception until modern times, dominated by Jewish publishers, writers and artists. How this came about and what it says both about that industry and about Jewish culture in America is the subject of this presentation. The Early or Platinum Days – As has been the case in many of the fields that I have discussed before, Jews entered the comic book industry through a combination of chance and lack of resistance. There were so many professions that were either closed to Jews or where access was limited through quotas or discrimination that Jews gravitated to those professions that were comparatively open. The Eastern Color Printing Company opened in 1928 as an adjunct to the Waterbury Republican newspaper1. The Eastern handled the full-color publishing duties, which were primarily the printing of the comic strips for the paper, those serials known as the “Sunday funnies”. These included some of the famous comics such as Joe Palooka and Mutt and Jeff. Eastern also printed the color covers for the “racy” magazines known as the pulps. In 1933, the general manager for Eastern was a man named Harry Wildenberg. He took note of the increasing popularity of comics and believed that they could be used as a vehicle to sell advertising. It was about this time that an unemployed Jewish novelty salesman named Maxwell Charles “M.C.” Gaines (formerly Max Ginzberg) joined the company in the sales department2. Whether the idea of a full-color magazine of these same Sunday comic strips originated with Wildenberg or Ginzberg is not clear, but they were able to sell the idea as a promotional opportunity.

  • Hillary Duff
    COVER STORY Hilary Duff A TEXAS METEMORPHISIS C I O N W D B I O A Y N S S by William C. Reynolds t was a scene last summer that could have happened anywhere in the West, a young girl greeting a horse as the midday sun painted the moment with summer’s I warmth. They stood together in a pasture on California’s Central Coast, where mountains meet the sea. Here in this coastal canyon the land is a blur of buckskin and blue — a place where the green pastures of spring have turned golden, ris- ing up to meet the sky. On that summer day, this one young girl and a special horse shared a time with the only audience, the sky and the land. It was a unique moment of quiet for the teenager and she relished the private time. Hilary Duff doesn’t get many solitary moments — especially with a horse — at this point in her life, let alone with Spirit, the little mustang who was inspiration for DreamWork’s animated blockbuster Spirit, Stallion of the Cimarron. “I had to catch my breath when I saw him,” she said. “He’s absolutely stunning.” Spirit is no ordinary horse and the place he lives, Return To Freedom, Neda DeMayo’s Central California wild horse sanctuary, is no ordinary ranch. Hilary had traveled from her Los Angeles home to the Buellton, California, facility, where along with Spirit, 130 other horses live out there lives in peace. Return to Freedom is a refuge dedicated to preserving the last of America’s photography by Charles Bush OPPOSITE: Pink sleeveless T-shirt from Roper; necklace with heart pendant from Happy Trails de Santa Fe; sterling silver heart bracelet from Island Cowgirl.
